    Buffalo Tom provides a warm blanket on a cold, dark night of the soul. [No. 150, p.51]

    Nothing prehistoric about the latest Buffalo Tom: this is the golden sound of a band in their element. [Apr 2018, p.90]

    Although a couple of things don’t quite go the distance--namely the slightly meandering “See High The Hemlock Grows” and the murky slogging “Slow Down”--Quiet And Peace holds together remarkably well for a late-career collection.

    Not thrilling, maybe, but pleasingly solid. [Apr 2018, p.24]

    Ninth album Quiet And Peace is roughly one third quiet, peaceful and Chris Stapleton-like. ... elsewhere, All Be Gone and Lonely Fast And Deep recall the lumberjack Lemonheads of '93, but there's forward motion too. [May 2018, p.90]

    Buffalo Tom are still firmly in control of what was best and most important in their music, and Quiet and Peace is a fine reminder of why they mattered then, and why they matter now.

    Buffalo Tom remain a very fine shoulder to cry on, warm, steady and strong. [Apr 2018, p.106]

    Oh this is good. Like sipping on a 25 year old single malt with your best friend. As good as Let me Come Over and Big Red Letter Day in myOh this is good. Like sipping on a 25 year old single malt with your best friend. As good as Let me Come Over and Big Red Letter Day in my book. Hope they tour with this, haven‘t seen them in a while. Thank you for laying down gems like these guys, hope to grab this on vinyl. Expand
